Council of Queen Mary University of London

The complainant has requested information relating to the MBBS Covid mitigation policy. The University disclosed the majority of the information that fell within the scope of the request. It relied upon section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) to withhold some information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information engages section 36(2)(b) and the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
